Im tryinig to find the weather records for Cardiff UK during the 1960s
As a lad I can remember a severe winter I think 1963.


Yes, 1962-3 was exceptionally severe.

I think the temperature dropped to -27


That's definitely an exaggeration for Cardiff, as the record minimum for
the whole UK is -27.2C (achieved twice in Scottish locations in
different years, but neither was 1962-3). Unfortunately I can't point
you at an online source for Cardiff data.
